curiosity tookover: Just howopen mindedthese Tucsonees reallywere. Usually little-town-
narrow mindedness met meat the door. Safer to hidebehind someone elsesideals than stand behindany of your own. Place after

only tinted 60s Popculture.The true col-ors lay in the charac-ters sprinkled aroundthe room. Friendlyfaces, bold charac-ters and in dismayexactly what I washoping for: FreeThinkers.
The dance floor, much toosmall for such a big sensa-tion (not to mention thamount of people), neve
felt uncomfortable. Although at times it seemedcramed, too close focomfort was Warholthing. Wasnt it? The crow

As I forced my way into the muggy noise from osuch freash air break the words We need sluts anartists found my ears. I tried to push thru the crowin time but to my dismay only got to watch as bomen and girlies where marker-ed as they danced
above the less colorfucrowd. Kitty-Kat, a trusocialite if any, hostedthe evening. He seemedthe most enthusiasticindividual held in mypresence in a goodamount of time. Im-pressing was the char-acters making up thescene. All shapes and

Productrion, but shealso reminded methat were all humanwith a empoweringgesture of friendship.
The festivities onlyseised for about 1ominutes as a as-sumed Warhol imperson-ator tried hard to sush thelively crowd. I found thisquite amusing (and diffi-cult).The Warhol characterhad already caught my at-
tention as a prospective Uwere seen-er. He was
pale, blonde and had aoverbearing ackward feelabout him: a perfect Warhol.

Ending the nights entertain-ment was a a sliming cermony,
were Warhol began empty acan of tomato soup dramati-cally on to Dallas head. Thisproduced very weird emotionsin my gut. Tomato soup andclose strangers touching eachother. I only once afterwardsaw Warhol he had the re-mains of tomato soup remains smirred down h
chin,mouth area and frontside. He slowly shiftedthru the despersingcrowd.
Lights go to blackPOP, Pawhaus, andtucson, dramtically prov-
ing (if only to myself) thathere is such a thing asindividuality.
